This isn’t the first time Kohli has posted something special for Dhoni. Time and again, Kohli has shared his love and admiration for the legendary captain. Earlier, Kohli had also informed media persons that it was only Dhoni, who had reached out to him after he stepped down from the Test captaincy. He had revealed:
“When I left my Test captaincy, only Dhoni called me, nobody else did, even though many had my number.”
“There is a certain amount of respect and connection you have with someone and if it is genuine it shows. It also shows there is security in the relationship – if I want to suggest something to somebody, I will reach out to them personally and tell them what I think and what needs to be done, rather than publically going and speaking about it,” he added.
